Indispensable Serving and assisting Marshall stu- dents in a great many capacities, Marshall's three counselors, Mrs. Celeste Leemhuis, Mrs. Carol Pomeroy, and Mrs. Maxine Samelson proved to be an indis- pensable part of the school's adminis- trative staff. These experts went out of their way to help the students in any way they could. Everything from a mere program change to advising a student in a choice of colleges concerned them. For those students not attending college or a trade school, jobs were located. Said Mrs. Leemhuis, We hope no one is ever reluctant to come in and see us, as we want to help them in any way we can. Another member of the administrative staff was Mrs. Barbara Uppgard, the school social worker. The usual problems facing her were helping new students to adjust and assisting students who had financial problems. The office staff, consisting of Mrs. Fern Little, Mrs. Claire Herbert, Mrs. Dorothy McMaster, Mrs. Margaret O'Loughlin, and Mrs. Frances Long, kept the students informed regularly and accurately of all the news and events that were such a big part of the schoolis life.

DEA Helps Library Purchase Resource Books ABOVE: Teachers often ask the librarians to display books on special themes for their students to select. BELOW LEFT: Miss Mae Arlander-head librarian. Recordings, fihnstrips, newspapers, periodicals, and pamphlets are available to interested students, along with many reference and reading books. To help make better use of resources the library has filmstrip catalogues and the Reader's Guide to Periodical Litera- ture. The library tries to build up its collec- tion of books in fields where there is lack of information. Last year it was necessary to buy literature books. This year the librarians thought they might have to buy books on electronics and other industrial arts. During the past few years the federal government has been helping the library buy new books through the National Defense Education Act of l958. Before this year the government paid forty percent of the cost of books in the fields of science, mathematics, foreign lan- guages, and guidance. This year the payment was extended to cover books in the fields of English, history, reading, civics, and geography. According to the librarians, junior high students are the most enthusiastic readers. They feel junior high students read more for enjoyment. BELOW' CENTER: Mrs. Rita Drone-assistant librarian.
